Introduction

Welcome to DottzGaming.com’s Magicka Nightblade Healer PvE Build, the Siphoner, for the Elder Scrolls Online! This build is intended for veteran dungeons and general PvE, but can also be taken into normal trials. Nightblade healers have a very fun and unique play-style when it comes to healing being that one of your main heals, Funnel Health, is a damage dealing ability that will heal based on damage dealt. Nightblade’s play a very active healing role and are up close and personal with the action while healing team mates. While an unconventional role for the class and not as efficient as the Templar, it can absolutely be done with great success.

Vestment of Olorime: Olorime has quickly become a favorite among healers and for good reason. The set is like Spell Power Cure but much easier to proc, which gives it the spot as the main set within healer builds. If you don’t have Summerset Isles though, Spell Power Cure will still be your best option.

Jorvuld’s Guidance: Amazing set for healers and great regardless of group composition; the extra buff durations benefit everyone as opposed to other sets that just benefit one type of DPS (mag or stam). An alternative to this set is Sanctuary if you want more raw healing output, or The Worm's Raiment for better group sustain in magicka-heavy groups.

Earthgore: Now that we can run a monster set on healers, Earthgore is perfect for that spot. Adds a lot of healing when healing severely injured party members, making it much easier for you to heal back up a group of players who are low on HP. If you dont have access to Earthgore, Nightflame is a viable replacement.

NOTE: If you’re on a fight that requires a shield, swap in Harness Magicka for Inner Light. For fights requiring instantaneous purges, you can swap in Efficient Purge into your loadout.

Vampire vs. Werewolf vs. Mortal

You are playing a vampire for this build. I feel that when playing a Nightblade healer in PvE, at least from my experiences in veteran dungeons, the benefits from having vampirism outweigh the negatives. It isn’t mandatory, but I use it.

NOTE: The medium armor non-5 piece passives aren’t required. They’re nice to have if using the beginning armor setup, but once you get to the final setup, you will not need them.

Tips & Misc.

Don’t let anyone tell you you can not heal as a nightblade. Are you as efficient as a Templar? No, you’re not. But I have healed plenty of dungeons – normal and veteran – on my nightblade as a healer and they all went over relatively well. You could also probably get away playing a nightblade healer in trials without issues. Once you get into the harder veteran trials though, you’re going to see why the Templar shines, as Nightblade’s just simply don’t have the same tools available as a Templar.
